Baked Chilaquiles Breakfast Bake

Breakfast 🍳 Tex-Mex 🇺🇸🇲🇽Mexican

Baked Chilaquiles Breakfast Bake layers sturdy tortilla chips in a tangy red chile sauce, soaking up smoky spices and a hint of lime. A blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar melts into the chips, while creamy avocado, queso fresco, and cilantro add freshness. Serve hot for a weekend brunch or a hearty breakfast-for-dinner with a drizzle of sour cream or hot sauce.
